Specification of Letters Patent. I

Patented Aug. 3, 1909.

Application led February 1, 1909. erial No. 476,378.

To all tvhom 'ifmay concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM I-I. EYNON, a

citizen-l of the United States, residing at Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in UniversalPipe-Fittings, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in universal pipe fittings or couplings, the invention being designed to form a universal connection or coupling for' two connected pipe members disposed in the same horizonta plane whereby said pipe members may be connected in any desired angle relative to each other..

The primary object of the invention isto provide a general .improved fitting or couping of this class which will be exceedingly simple in construction, chea of manufacture, eflicient in use, and muc better ada ted to its intended purposes than any. otliier device of the same class with which I am acquainted. 1 J 25 With the above mentioned ends'in view,

the invention in its present embodiment, consists in thenovel constructiomarrangement and combination ofA parts hereinafter described, illustrated in the accompanying 30 drawings, and particularly pointed out in the appended claim.

. Referring to the drawings,

of this-specification, Figure 1,-is a perspective in accordance with my invention.- a longitudinal sectional view of the Fi 3, a top plan view of the same.

imilar numerals of lreference designate like parts throughout all the figures of the drawings.

The cou ling members'of the im roved .universalplpefitting are rovided wit main body 1portions 1, dispose inthe same hori- -Zonta lplane and provided with internal screw t reads adapted to receive and contain the threaded ends of the pipe members to which it is attached. The coupling members each comprise off-set elbows 2, terminating in flanged heads 3, said anged heads being disposed intermediate and extending at' right angles to the plane of the main bod portions 1. .The anged headsv 3,'are prefi- 7 same.

forming'a part1 v iew of a pipe iitting or coupling constlgucted ig. 2

erably connected by means of a union nut 4, carried upon one of the flanged heads and ada ted to receive and take over the exterior y threaded portion oi" the opposite flanged head ina well known manner. A rubber gasket 5, may be interposed between the face sides of the flanged heads 3, one of the flanged heads being preferably provided with an annular flange 6, adapted to take into or be seated in an annular off-*set recess fir p ocket-groove 7, in the opposite flanged By reason of the construction and relative disposition of the parts as vdescribed the couplinor members are ada ted to be disposed at any desired angle as in icated bythe dotted lines in Iig. 3, of the drawings, and as a means for providing for a convenient construction or form for the cou ling members and at the same time provi ing a bore or opening) substantially corresponding in area to the ore or opening of the attached pipe members, each off-set elbow is provided with a reduced or flattened neck portion 2a, havin oppositely-disposed laterally-extending bi ged portions 2b, thus providing a bore portion 8, of oval shape in cross section correspending substantially to the area of the bore or openings in the pipe members in the main body portions 1.

From the foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, the operation and advantages-of my invention W1 l be readil understood.

Having thus described an embodiment of my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters. Patent is, i

A universal pipe-fitting, comprising coupling members provided with ofI-setelbows having their` connected heads intermediate and extendmg at right angles to the main body portions of said coupling members, said elbows being rovided with 4reduced bilged neck portions aving a bore corresponding in area to the bore ofoth'e pipe in saidmain body portions.
